"License proliferation was so rampant ten years ago that Fink made a public plea at Linux World 2005 for the Open Source Initiative (OSI) to stop adding new licenses to its approved list. The problem, of course, is that each additional license increases the complexity of the ecosystem and, thus, creates a legal maze that makes it hard to participate. "If I had been Steve Ballmer, trying to kill Linux, I would have just encouraged people to make more licenses."
or are you just trying to resurrect the license proliferation problem 'cos you're a fan of zombie shows ?
Writing a new license is *not* helpful at this point in time.
